I checked the inventory online last night after they closed, then slept in and made my way there and picked one up. A lot of people there buying them (5 other people while I was getting mine and quite a few waiting) of course they didn't have any gold at all. They told me they only received silver and grey.
Checked again, all sold out now.
Here, fixed this for ya. Don't need to add all that other stuff to your post
Production week: 39 (October)
Is this the first F2 factory made phone we have seen so far???
Think this is the first I see, if so there might be hope that phones made there are already calibrated correctly?

So I tested it against my ipod using ihandy level and it was within ~1 degree. Reset calibration settings on both and got similar results. Compared to reading on the compass app, the 5s shows about 1 degree difference between ihandy level and the built in app.
Edit: Tested clinometer also, when zeroed and then flipped 180 the readings were 0, 180 and 0,179. Seems to work correctly.

My 5s is coming on Monday from that factory, shipped on 17 of October. I'll keep you posted.
Edit: will be a week 42

hey patrek,
where did you buy it ?
I mean which country ?
Because I get the 2nd one from from C3 factory.
And I was wondering if different factories have different calibration standards.
I will follow up with a more detailed post when I have completed "restoring" my white box replacement I got today from Apple.
I just wanted to say that it is odd that the above posted used the word "capture" when talking about Apple. I noticed the "genius" who was assisting me said to another person working there, "Hey (name), are we will CAPTURING 5S's?" The person said yes.
I sat and thought for about one minute. I then asked him to clarify what that meant. He said it is a term used within their store meaning they are retaining certain phones to send to engineering to have problems and issues studied, and yours is a prefect candidate."
Ill post back later. This is my first post on this board, but I have been following it for about 2 weeks.

Ok, well.
My production week on the original phone was 37, this one is 39. I dont have the details in front of me, but when I reviewed them at the app store, they were from different factories, but they were both from factories within China.
The replacement Iphone: It's off -1. Sometimes 0. But so far, -1.
The original iphone, which I had ordered online when they first came out was -3 to -4.
I bought apple care while I was there. For some reason, I got the vibe that they werent happy about adding applecare to a phone issued by the store as a replacement, so an "administrative genius" had to come out to the floor to do the transaction.
Everything else seems to work as normal. I'm not happy still. But I'm not going to take the time to go back to that hell hole of un-educated people and sweat it out waiting for my appointment.
Some dude came in asking for the "lenses," an employee was like, uh, huh? I said, are you looking for google glass? The man spoke spanish. He said yes. The employee said you cant buy those here. I told him, you cant buy them anywhere.
Also, I had to show the employee had to get to the compass app, then he honestly acted like he had never calibrated, or been to the compass app on the phone. He was clueless. He however agreed my phone was bonk.
I checked out two other phones on the floor. One was off -3, the other -2.
Oh, by the way, my phone came with 7.0.0 installed.
It's the same, calibration wise, with 7.0.0 and 7.0.2.
dissapointed, but will keep checking the thread,

ps. too lazy right now to spell check. or even use caps.

Lol this app crashes 100% of the time, very bad. Or is it just me who's experiencing this?
not crashing on my 5s as well.
ps whats the use of this app? after calibration my leveler still shows the same values :/

So does that mean that they are still looking at the calibration problems and haven't applied a fix yet
iPad 5 & iPad Mini 2, gyro problems?
New iPads out on Tuesday with rumors of M7 chip, I wonder if we'll see the same issues with the gyro sensors?? I'm going to be holding off and playing the waiting game.
